Vespa

  • Vespa Project is a striking subtropical retreat that masterfully balances privacy, openness, and connection to nature. Designed as a sanctuary for a young family, the residence blends raw concrete, dark timber, and lush greenery to create an industrial-inspired yet warm living environment.

  • A monolithic western facade shields the home from the afternoon sun, while a floating subtropical roof and cascading gardens provide additional protection and visual softness.

  • The design seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor spaces, natural light & ventilation, fostering effortless subtropical living which is designed to occupy the edges, connecting seamlessly with the landscape.

  • Private internal spaces are intentionally designed to contrast, offering serene retreats that balance the open, outward-facing aspects of the home.

  • At its core, Vespa Project is a responsive, adaptable home—designed to meet the evolving needs of its occupants while serving as a sanctuary that blurs the boundaries between built form and its intensified subtropical setting.

  • Built by CMR Constructions.

Perched high on Hill Ave, Burleigh Heads — a home suspended between canopy and coastline.

Crisp white planes float above battened timber and off-form concrete, framing the Gold Coast skyline from every terrace. The pool wraps the living edge in a curve of stone; deep verandahs and a slatted entry court temper the northern sun, while glass dissolves the line between kitchen, deck and horizon.

Treetop living, minutes from the sand.

Now under construction at Mudgeeraba — a family home stepped down its sloping site beneath horizontal planes.

Board-formed concrete and blackened timber hold the house to the hill, while planted terraces blur each level into the landscape. A cantilevered pool floats over the carport below; deep eaves and screened verandahs do the climatic work, filtering the sunlight and opening the living rooms to the valley breeze.
